LAS VEGAS -- This year's CES produced a bumper crop of heavenly headphones. We tested a bunch of models on the show floor, and we've gathered up the cream of the crop here.
We stayed away from noise-canceling and wireless tech, earbuds and models made for the commuter set. Instead, we sought out audiophile, studio monitor and DJ-style over-the-ear headphones. For test tracks, we used a song each by Radiohead, Quantic and Medeski, Martin and Wood -- anthemic rock, dubby hip-hop and spaced-out jazz. We also pushed some bass-heavy King Tubby through the headphones especially made for low-end aficionados. Here's our round-up.
